In fact it prefers the winter season for good growth. It is nice we can do that down here.<br /><br /><br />Penny,<br />I've grown leeks here but it takes a really long time. I'm going to look into those mildew resistant varieties.

The only veggies I've bought recently are things that won't grow here, like parsnips and leeks.<br /><br />My zucchini, squash and cukes all succumbed (as usual) to powdery mildew, so, even thought the end of the season is approaching, I just ordered some resistant Terra Mirabilishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889673556489343913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-42946528569150526372011-02-19T23:10:27.246-05:002011-02-19T23:10:27.246-05:00Hi Meems! it is amazing how much good stuff you ca...Hi Meems! it is amazing how much good stuff you can have in your garden so early!

Just to let you know, I posted a belated 'thank you' to you for all of your comments over the last year (even though my slow computer takes a full minute to load your blog so I don't leave as many comments as I'd like to!)

Since then I see it mentioned in many blogs, see it in nurseries...it is everywhere. I was so happy that the frost did not bother it this winter. I think I need more.

I planted my last lettuce seeds in a shadier spot, too.<br /><br />Daisy,<br />Not too late for lettuce. You're gonna love that freshness from the garden. I'm planting more and more of what I like best.

I am starting with some leaf lettuce. Planted it in pots so I can move them to shadier areas when the heat starts.<br /><br />Have a great weekend!SiestaSisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810517627451623408noreply@blogger.com
